I love the lament from 'Alcestis' at 41:07. It reminds me of the "nightingale" arias in Baroque opera, which would feature an elaborate flute accompaniment imitating birdsong.

What I really love about this demonstration and reconstruction that it shows music that feels alive, instead of sterile and only reconstructed. Absolutely stunning lecture and performance, I greatly enjoyed it!

6:07 It is safer to say that Ancient Greek was not a tonal language but had pitch accents in accordance with most of the linguists and music archaeologists. The difference of them is exactly the same as the difference between Chinese and Japanese.

no way ancient greek music sounded like a western european church choir!
ancient greek music sounded more middle eastern!
